Family Guy - Peter trying to unwrap the Saran Wrap

Season 19, episode 03: Boys & Squirrels

[@klingon401]

I think the cutaways where peter is just genuinely trying to do something are the best ones

[@romainsavioz5466]

This is more painful to watch than the time he ate half a fudgesickle in one bite

[@MrPhantaze]

This is actually what makes Family Guy bad: its a filler

They're funny for like half a minute then it drags on for way too long like when tried throwing a frog out a window.

[@msthecommentator2863]

The only thing missing was scratching your thumb over the metal teeth that cut the plastic wrap while you're trying to find the edge.

[@hobomike6935]

i don't know why anyone even bothers, those stupid serrated box edges don't even work. they rip only part of tin/aluminum foil before it starts tearing diagonally, and they just flat-out never work for wax paper or saran wrap. I just go get a pair of good ol' fashioned scissors and cut myself a good clean edge. Or better yet, just don't even bother and use a tupperware container. saran wrap sucks.

This has to be the most relatable cutaway gag Family Guy has ever done. Plastic wrap is completely useless.

[@harrisonbetker2271]

[@someflatsoda9879]

He didn't display how the plastic wrap will try it's hardest to touches itself anywhere and stick to itself with the adhesive power of Spiderwebs made of Gorilla Glue, to the point where you have to throw the whole thing out and start over

[@atomicreactor6033]

And if you can get it undone, you'd still have to start over

SO accurate and glad I am not alone in this. I don't know know how anyone makes or buys this stuff anymore. It sticks to itself and is impossible to use!

[@boobeethecurious]

Haven't watched family guy in a looong time, but the animation and attention to detail in this scene is PERFECT

[@HunterShows]

I don't feel that it captured the issue of the plastic sticking to itself and getting folded into itself. That part you just had to imagine.

[@yanderefangirl8317]

I go through this every time I try to wrap up leftovers in plastic wrap. Tin foil is easier.

[@lakestones9266]

[@milemill5303]

Bruh I can relate to having trouble finding the edge of the roll but idk about it being hard to roll it and wrap the food 💀

[@MP-vc4nu]

It is if you didn’t pulled out enough of the wrapper. Trust me, it’s like ridiculous and just throw away when you pull out short wraps only.

I saw an interview with FG’s writers saying that they all keep notepads with them everywhere they go so they can jot down anything that annoys/amuses them to use for cutaways later.

[@OceanHedgehog]

Saran Wrap used to be a lot better but had to remove PVDC, which helped make the plastic more adhesive, in 2004-2005, because that chemical releases particularly toxic fumes when incinerated.

[@piperthirtytwo]

This couldn't be further from truth and fact. It's like pulling teeth!
